| Summary: | The purpose of this study was to identify more clearly the factors associated with stress among clergy of both genders. Protestant clergy from Bergen County (N = 70) were sent surveys which included the Religious Occupations and Stress Questionnaire (ROS). Thirty clergy responded, of which 13 were female and 17 were male. While there was no statistical difference between female and male clergy with respect to overall stress scores, other factors associated with stress resulted in statistically significant findings, for example, number of years in ministry, membership in clergy support groups, and perceived affirmation by parishioners. |
